  1. Split Tunneling: Possibility of choosing apps by active processes

    Currently you can only choose apps by searching for .exe files on system or IP.
    It would be great to be able to select apps by active processes.
    Ex: It's very difficult to activate the feature in MS Store apps. You have to look for the files that are HIDDEN by default. And it doesn't always work.
    Via active processes would be much more practical and faster.

    Other VPNs already allow this in addition to the way currently implemented by Proton.

  6. Netshield block all but adds

    I would like to be able to block all but adds. So essentially that would be blocking Malware and Trackers.

    I don't really like adds but hey, they pay all the free content I consume. But I still want to be protected against trackers.

  7. GUI contrast

    For some with impaired vision, the Proton interface is very hard to read. Is there any chance of getting a light background with black letters and a larger font?

  8. Fix YouTube Videos not loading on some servers.

    Some VPN servers make YouTube think you're a bot ("Log in to prove you aren't a bot") (e.g. DE#426). These are also the servers that can bypass VPN detection on other sites.

    If this is intentional, please provide a way to identify these servers so I can create a profile that doesn't connect to them.

  10. fix the systask icon options for fastest server option/random server option.

    I AM LOSING MY MIND!!! when i leave the 'fastest server' and randomize 100+ times or more over a durration of more then 24 hours, so long as i do not reboot my pc, if i choose the option 'fastest' it will revert me to the original sever i was on. Despite the fact that #1~ it is not. i can find servers with 25% loaded capacity when it gives me 45% and it doesn't seem to even try to find what the fastest is at the time of. i have to open the application and so a search for…

  11. Paying for VPN using PayPal without a credit card or bank account

    Previously, an subscription could be purchased using PayPal alone, but since the payment has switched to reoccuring, PayPal asks for a credit card or bank account. For some reason, trying to add credits to my proton account also requires a credit card or bank account. Since the whole reason for a VPN is privacy, this requirement seems unreasonable. Please return to providing us a means of purchasing the VPN without a reoccuring payment!

  12. I find it inexplicable that you no longer suppoprt older versions of Windows, I use Win7 Pro and will never upgrade to Windows versions 10,

    I find it inexplicable that you no longer support older versions of Windows, I use Win7 Pro and will never upgrade to Windows versions 10, 11, that are actually less private than older versions. Friends who have updated to Win10 and 11 have had quite a few problems.
    I have a PROTON UNLIMITED account until DEC 8 2024 but no longer can use the VPN, and Mail Bridge also insists I "update" to a version that doesn't support Win7, so I will not be renewing my account.
    Instead, I now have chosen KASPERSKSY AV and VPN - your competitor, which…

  13. Cheaper prices for countries with worse economies

    Now I KNOW this could lead to problems such as the people in the countries with the bad economy selling it for cheaper to the people in other countries but I am sure there is a way to get around this such as using their hardware ID's of MAC adresses

  14. Turn off alternate routing as default

    The tyranny of the default. Google, with its free DNS, allows it to know information that it should never be allowed to have, your identity. With fingerprinting, it's trivial to know it's you at the other end of the tunnel, all without knowing the tunnel traffic itself.

    With AI active and google's insatiable appetite for your private informatiion, it is poor practice to have alternate routing turned on.

    Turn it off by default.

    If a user is being blocked, they can turn it on.

    But additionally,slash Google DNS and use Cloudflare primarily as the alternate. Google is disgusting, as EU…

  15. Enable managing Google Analytics or Google Ads even while blocking other trackers

    NetShield workds great. But it's all or nothing.
    I need to manage Google Analytics and Google Ads for my business. However, this is not feasible while using NetShield. As a result, I need to disable it, which leaves me wide open to any and all other trackers and ads. A configurable setting would be highly desireable.

  16. Android improvements (country names, profiles, metrics, random connections)

    A posted this on reddit, but I figured I'd put it here as well.

    I've been a longtime user of ProtonMail and ProtonVPN and am incredibly grateful of everything they've done to make privacy accessible to more people. I also really love the new ProtonMail app. But ProtonVPN has problems.
    To some it up, it seems like functionality has been sacrificed for vague aesthetics.
    Specifics:
    1. The name of the country you are connected to is in tiny text down near the bottom of the screen. This is even worse if you are connected to the "fastest country". Instead most…

  17. Add more features to the free version

    Not going to lie I think the free plan has too little stuff. The plus version has way too much more features than free, like it feels unfair. I know it has so little features cause it's free but if you added one or two features from the plus version to the free one this app would be so much better

    To access chinese platforms. Sometimes you want out, sometimes you want in. Proton can do none of those so far.

  19. Allow more coins, or accept payments through Bitpay

    Bitcoin payment is not the best fee-friendly method, specially with the crypto exchanges in Iran. I'd suggest you either allow more coins, or accept payments through Bitpay which enables customers to pay Bitcoin with other major coins in their wallet.

  20. Dynamic Fastest Servers by Country

    To be able to select the Fastest Server by Country is a good thing!

    But give it a few minutes and it is actually no longer the Fastest Server anymore yet it remains to appear that it still is!

    The Fastest Server (by Country) is still shown as your selection but it never is the fastest when later checking manually.

    I see no reason why the Server cannot dynamically change to always be 'the fastest' within the constraints of Country and profile selected?

    Overdue...
